Aircel is a fraud and cheating mobile service provider. They are looting the post paid customers. Last month I havnt call a single person from my aircel number but still the bill was 600 rs with 99 as monthly rent. I am from tripura and the service also is horrible here. I suggest all not to use post paid connections.
